Cultural Tip
In Spain and many Latin American countries, food‑labeling regulations require clear statements about allergens and animal‑derived ingredients. ‘Llevar’ is the verb most often used on packaging, while ‘contener’ appears in more formal or legal texts. Remember that regional variations exist: in Mexico you might also see ‘no incluye nada de origen animal’. Using the phrase confidently signals awareness of vegan lifestyles, which are increasingly popular across the Spanish‑speaking world.
